We’re dedicated to raising awareness and donating a portion of our profits to great causes. In the past, we’ve donated and supported charitable organizations like The Edible Schoolyard, The David Lynch Foundation, and Pencils of Promise, all of whom have touched us with their proven success in helping children. This year, we’re proud to add the very impressive DonorsChoose.org. Please read on to see how each organization has made a valuable difference in the fields of education, nutrition, and general wellbeing for children. We hope that after reading about these wonderful causes, you will feel as passionately about them as we do.

Founded in 1996 as the Chez Panisse Foundation by culinary pioneer Alice Waters, The Edible Schoolyard Project is dedicated to transforming the health and values of American children by incorporating Edible Education lessons into the core curriculum of every school in the country. In addition to supporting the local community and training teachers around the country, Edible has developed an online community of Edible Educators who share curriculum and best practices to help spread Edible Education to all schools through their website.

In 2000, Charles Best, a former Bronx public school teacher, founded DonorsChoose.org, an innovative crowd-funding platform that helps teachers in more than half America’s public schools enrich their students’ educational environment. Here’s how it works: Teachers post funding requests for much-needed school supplies, classroom projects, field trips, and more, which anyone can donate to directly. With over $232 million in donations over the years, DonorsChoose has been instrumental in improving education in communities that need it most. In the future, DC could be instrumental in providing necessary data to the government regarding the country’s public schools’ most pressing needs.
